초록

LVDS에 기반을 둔 초고속 저전력 직렬 인터페이스인 SMIA(Standard Mobile Imaging Architecture) CCP2(Compact Camera Port 2) 규격을 채택한 CMOS 이미지 센서들이 개발되면서, 기존의 CMOS 이미지 센서들과 직접 연결되었던 장비들이 사용할 수 없게 되고 있다 본 논문에서는 SMIA CCP2 규격의 직렬데이터 신호를 범용 10-비트 병렬 신호로 변환하는 시스템을 제안하고. 이의 구현 방안을 제시한다. 제안한 데이터 프로토콜 변환 시스템은 de-serializer 1개와 저가의 FPGA로 구성되어 소형 PCB로 구현되어, 장비와 이미지 센서 사이를 추가 공간 없이 용이하게 접속할 수 있다. 또한 SMIA CCP2 규격에서 제시된 최대 속도인 650Mbps의 속도로 데이터를 변환하는 것이 가능하기 때문에 범용 프로토콜 변환 시스템으로서의 활용성도 매우 높을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently the high-end CMOS image sensors are developed, conforming to the SMIA CCP2 specification, which is a high-speed low-power serial interface based on LVDS technology. But this kind of technology trend makes the existing equipments are no longer useful, although their capability is still good enough to handle the recent image sensors if there was no interfacing problem. In this paper, we propose and realize a data protocol conversion system that translates the SMIA CCP2 serial signals into the existing 10-bit parallel signals. The proposed system is composed of a de-serializer and a FPCA chip, and thus can be constructed on a small PCB which enables easy integration between the existing equipments and the new high-end image sensors. Besides, the maximum transfer rate by the SMIA specification is also achieved on the implemented system. So it is expected that the implemented system can be used as a general-purpose protocol converter in a variety of sensor-related application fields.
